| Matt on "The Blob" |
Dave and Jason brought up "The Blob" to the ranch for Memorial Day weekend. Matt and Talon each had the guts to get on it. They maneuver themselves down to the end and then two adults jump from a ladder and onto the other end of the blob. That shoots the person up into the air and into the cold water. NO THANKS!

| Elody's mouth with Hand Food Mouth Disease |
 |
| Elody's lips swollen with blisters |
We spent Memorial Day weekend at the Ranch as usual. But something unusual happened. Elody got sick with hand, foot, mouth disease. It was so miserable for her and for me. She wouldn't eat hardly anything and I had to hold her almost all the time except when she was sleeping. It lasted 8 days. She would sip my homemade kefir and yogurt through a straw in the morning when she was hungry. She'd sip a little water sometimes. She wouldn't eat anything or hardly drink anything without me begging her. She went from 30 pounds down to 25 pounds. I took her to her doctor in the beginning and then again toward the end because I was afraid she was getting dehydrated and would need to be put into the hospital, but he said that it wasn't necessary. By the ninth day she was finally eating and drinking again. By the time two weeks was over, she was eating and eating all day long. It was like I couldn't feed her enough. She quickly gained her weight back and her eating normalized. That was one horrible sickness I wouldn't wish upon anyone.
